When a jaded romance author and a pretentious literary writer find themselves neighbors for the summer—both broke, both blocked, and both convinced the other is completely insufferable—they make a deal: she'll help him write something happy, he'll help her write something serious, and absolutely nobody will catch feelings. (Spoiler alert: the vibes say otherwise.) With steamy banter, genuine vulnerability, and a summer full of hilariously mismatched adventures, this is the ultimate enemies-to-lovers story about two people learning to believe in the very thing they've stopped believing in: each other. If you love witty, emotional romance with characters who feel real and dialogue that crackles, this is absolutely the beach read for you.
